D.A.R.E.
America
has developed “New” innovative fundraising programs/partnerships
designed to help local community-based
D.A.R.E. Programs raise money. These
fundraisers serve to support and sustain community D.A.R.E.
Programs.Mid-Atlantic Clothing
Recycling Program (M.A.C.) is one of these new partners. D.A.R.E.
officers help secure locations for clothing drop off bins in front of
local community businesses, at schools, law enforcement agencies etc.
We look for areas were there is high visibility and easy access for the
community. Our local citizens have an opportunity to drop off clothes
and other items they no longer want. Items recycled by M.A.C.
(www.mac-recycling.com.)
helps with the purchase of workbooks, tee shirts, and other items for
the D.A.R.E. programs across South Carolina. These are the tools used
by the D.A.R.E officers as instructional aids in the classrooms. This is
a perfect example of law enforcement, schools, businesses, and citizens
working as a team to help save our CHILDREN.

D.A.R.E. Officers develop skills to avoid drug offers or to engage in
other high risk behaviors. Focusing on developing good decision making
skills, D.A.R.E.

teaching young people the truth about drugs and violence,
resulting in changes in their normative
beliefs.

drug use and avoid violence (Bullying). We feel young people high and
excited on life, participating in positive alternative activities, will
